Film personalities like Karan Johar, Rishi Kapoor and Asha Parekh released their autobiographies this year.
Noted actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently withdrew his memoir - "An Ordinary Life" - for hurting sentiments of some women, whose names he mentioned in the book allegedly without their consent.
Asked if he plans to come up with a book on his life, Irrfan says, "No, it is too boring for me. If I get a good writer sometime, who will write not just about me (then will think about the book). It should have other things as well like people who contributed (in my journey so far), circumstances. It should be a story of times and not me."
He played a small role in 1988's Oscar-nominated film "Salaam Bombay". The 1990's era was the struggle time for Irrfan as despite working in numerous films he went unnoticed.
